I can see benefits to this; especially for use in channel subscriptionmanagement. I'm toying with the idea of a "per-channel" secret, asopposed to a server secret, that could be used to automagicallydetermine which channels a given client is subscribed to based on thesysid. No idea how it would be implemented yet, though...

Anyone else on this list have thoughts on this idea? Keep in mind, thisis probably a 1.9 timeline idea...
